JNCLE SAM LOSES IN HIGH-HEARTED FLORIDA GAMBLE Land on Which He Hoped to Make a Cleaning Awarded to Homesteader. \u Times Special WASHINGTON, July 3 Among Shose stung jn Florida list Uncle Sam, Esq. Following a brave, high-hearted Sing at the,boom real estate business Uncle Sam awoke today to discover that $384,000 worth of land In Miami Beach had been snatched from him right under his nose. The land, under a court decision lust rendered in Jacksonville, goes to Lewis G. Norton, a Florida citisen who laid cldim to it as a homesteader. Up to. 1921 the forty acres infolved had been intended as a site lor a Federal refuge home. But Uncle Sam, attracted by the grand jrices being obtained for land thereabouts, decided to make a little Cleaning. The acreage was restored •o the public domain by presidential proclamation May 11, 1921. and in February 1923 a public auction was held at which lots sold for as high is $13,000 each. In the course of the sale, Uncle Sam's enthusiasm was suddenly \lampened by discovery that Norton had already homesteaded the land tnd was claiming full possession tvithout ever having paid a cent tor it. The court decision now rendered fully supports his claim. Uncle Sam's other two ventures in public sale of Florida real estate are still holding water. On auction of 540 acres near Jacksonville he realized $16,627 and on auction of seven acres near Miamr he realized $58,055.
